I got just such a warning yesterday, but like you, I was wary 
because of the virus going around, and deleted it without opening.  
I realized that I always send messages through the website, never 
through my email, and so I knew there was nothing that I'd sent that 
hadn't gotten through.  I was worried, though, that maybe the virus 
had started to do that thing where it sends out junk to everyone on 
your email list, and perhaps they were being screened out by Yahoo's 
anti-virus program and sent back.  It's a clever disguise; I was 
taken in at first too.  Today I got 3 of the rotten things, but they 
were pretty obvious.
